Inclusive Education for All, of All, by All

Abstract

Accessibility of regular classrooms for learners with disabilities remains a huge challenge, despite the move that regards education as human right for all in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education. Millennium Development Goals, Education for All is a Global North project. It never included the Global South. It is a Western countries' agenda advocated for and promoted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. The under-preparedness of educators and resource provision remain unresolved. Inclusive education (IE) has philosophical tools to expedite endeavours to attain social justice, human rights, and Ubuntu that confront learning barriers. Theorisation of IE for all, of all, by all should have tools to confront exclusion, marginalisation, isolation, intolerance, prejudice, and stereotyping.
